The last time we had this embroidery on a Sunday chat, I was in the middle of the stitching. For some reason, I had a hard time getting going on it. I think the decisions on colors stymied me for a bit. Once the decisions were made, it went a bit faster. Having a few …
Quilt Artistry
At our last quilt guild meeting, a friend did a program of her work for our guild, and I was simply blown away with her creativity and artistry. I haven't known her long, and although I knew she was a quilter and longarmer, I had not seen her work. Her name is Kathleen Rountree, and …
Just a Couple of Things
First, if you have ordered a pattern from me, and you haven't seen a paypal invoice or an email from me, please check your spam folder. I have two pattern orders where the persons ordering haven't responded, and I think their email systems aren't showing them my emails. One lady has sent me three orders …
Sunday Chat
Coming home from our adventures in Virginia, the tomato plants were prolific in our absence. The day we left, I gave all I had at that time to my neighbor for her help watering my plants while we were gone. This basket was collected the day we got back, and a few went on salads …
A Quick Getaway Adventure
Last week, we packed up the car and headed north to Ohio for My Sweet Babboo to see a classic car show in Columbus. We have friends that live there, and his brother is also there, so we could see the show and do a bit of visiting too. It was fun to drive on …
Sunday Chat
With the summer winding down, I usually bring out my August placemats and table topper for a new tablescape. This year I haven't been motivated to set a nice table, other than just the basics for me and My Sweet Babboo. So, maybe you'd like to see a couple of past tables with these patchwork …
Eagle Panel Quilt of Valor
It has been a crazy few days, with Hurricane Fred stopping by as a tropical storm on its way up north. The rain began on Monday with the brunt of it on Tuesday. Of course, a tree came down on our road, taking out a power line on Tuesday. The storm resulted in a lot …
August in the Garden
Hot and humid has been the norm this month. Usually July is the hottest month of the year here, but it seems like the heat is lasting longer this year. The plants love it though, with lots of flowers both ornamental and on the veggies. My purple petunias continue to provide colorful displays. I saw …
Sunday Chat
This week has just been so busy, with car club events, playing pickleball, quilt meetings and lunch with friends. It is no wonder that I have little accomplished in the sewing and crafting room for the week. On Thursday, I went to a quilt area meeting then stopped by the Quilts of Valor sew day. …
August Car Club Fun
We've had several drives in our beautiful mountains in the past few days. Although the weather is too warm for me in the afternoons, the mornings have been delightful. On this day, we gathered with our Appalachian Mountain MINI group in west Asheville for a nice drive and lunch. The route took us past lovely …
